I can certainly believe that.My dad voted for the first time when he was an airman. Two of his fellow airmen voted with him. One black one Hispanic. They all got the same test, they all voted.this was in 1960.
I agree with that.If you can’t name your congressional rep you have no business voting,
None of that has anything to do with the way poll tests were commonly conducted in many states before they were eliminated in 1970.
The reality is that there are evil people who run polling places and there are ignorant people who cast votes.
- The ignorant are a problem that we solve by preaching the word as we see it.
- The evil folks in charge of polling places can't be stopped unless we take away all the tools they use to do evil.
Theoretical usefulness is meaningless if the way they were actually used was so evil.
Good riddance.
Of course it doesn't. Not everyone has a right to vote.What if I told you the Constitution does not specifically state that everyone has the right to vote?
But that has nothing to do with real-world poll tests.
